Description

The two newspaper items (Oct 9 and Oct 12, 1857) list Cumberland Savings Institute, Md. among suspended and discredited banks. OCR variants corrected (Institute ≈ Institute / Savings). The articles simply list the institution as suspended/discredited during the 1857 panic; no mention of a depositor run or later reopening/receivership is provided. I infer a suspension tied to the Panic of 1857 (macro shock). Permanence of closure is not stated; the list context implies serious distress, so classified as suspension leading to closure — noted uncertainty.
